3 Cry out for insight,and ask for understanding.
4 Search for them as you would for silver;seek them like hidden treasures.
5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the lord,and you will gain knowledge of God.
6 For the lord grants wisdom!From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.
8 He guards the paths of the justand protects those who are faithful to him.
9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,and you will find the right way to go.
